South Carolina Highway Patrol said the crash was reported around 6:15 a.m.

Lawrence Coggins, who lives in the home, said he and his wife were home at the time.

"My wife was in the kitchen there. She was in there drinking coffee. I hadn’t got up yet and she came in there and got me up and it scared me," Coggins said. "She was sitting right there in the kitchen, and if she had been (a few feet over), it'd probably have hurt her, but thank the Lord that she didn’t get hurt or (anything)."

Coggins said the crash moved the house off its foundation.

"(It) tore the door off and all that corner, moved the house a little bit off that structure," he said.

The car was flipped and moved away from the house by a tow truck just before 8 a.m.
